I am sorry my JKU was a Sahara, and they are totally capable and underappreciated.. but you didn't help the mall criticism by posting your offroad photo on the flattest smoothest dirt in north americaLet see some Saharas off the pavement!!!
Yesterday I drove with my top off for the first time. I had just finished my making some adjustments to my hoist install, so I wanted to take the top off to retest. Since it was off I decided to go for a drive. Without having anywhere in mind I figured why not take my Jeep off the pavement for the first time too.
I didn't do any serious wheeling, or anything like that, but it's now been topless and off road. That's a good day.
I found a nearby trail and went for a drive. The trail is basically an old access trail by a local lake. It's gravel in some parts, but in others is just a trail between the trees. More than anything it's just a hilly rough path through the woods, but enough that it was fun. According to my EVIC, the steepest grade was 8° while the roll was showing 3°. It sure felt a lot steeper than that from seat, but doing this a vehicle so small is new to me (I've had Rams off road many times).
I didn't get a lot of photos, because it was just me and my wife. I know, never off-road alone. My excuse to myself is that this wasn't really "off-roading" and I have a friend about 10 minutes away with a heavily modified Jeep who could have come bailed us out (this "trail" would probably bore him so I didn't call to see if he'd want to come along).
Anyway, back to the point. I was thinking about Wranglers in general, as I was doing this. People joke all the time about the Sahara being a mall crawler, and for the most part they're probably right. This was likely the most extreme thing my Jeep will see. However, I know guys/gals out there, are doing much more than this with the Sahara. Heck, with as fun as that was I may start looking at other trails (with a friend along this time).
So lets see these mall crawlers off the asphalt. Here's a few photos I did manage to take to get things started.
that is beautiful, i have to make it out that wayThe Bighorn mountains in Wyoming.
If you ever do, be sure to look me up! I’ll be more than happy to show you around.
Ha ha, maybe so. It's all I had at the time but I think the others have me covered though.I am sorry my JKU was a Sahara, and they are totally capable and underappreciated.. but you didn't help the mall criticism by posting your offroad photo on the flattest smoothest dirt in north america

lol and here in the Chicago suburbs I thought I was the only one! I always wonder what’s in the debris besides mud...
Well he surely likes the phrase "Achilles heel". He was also having a melt down about the ground clearance, and that's pretty much all he talked about. Okay, so the difference is 0.8" (10.0 Sahara, 10.8 Rubicon, according to Autoblog). Less than one inch dude, move on.
)....... that he never really talked about anything else. So how would the Sahara do on the Rubicon Trail? We don't know because he never really tried, and then they bailed out early because someone had food poisoning.
